Velveeta, Marianina and their dancer comrades take to their soapbox outside Deja Vu Showgirls Hollywood to promote worker rights, the solidarity economy, and wh0re liberation.
These episodes are live streamed via TikTok, on the streets of Hollywood. Velveeta and Marianina encourage each other to speak their minds and even hear from people passing by on the street.
Stilettobox is a part of YAS Work Network, a network of podcasts about sex workers by sex workers.
Workers have the right to define dignity for themselves, not politicians, police, or moral panic. If labor deserves rights, respect, and agency, then sex work should not be treated as the exception.
Velveeta explores French sex work policy, the Nordic Model, and competing ideas of consent under capitalism while making the case that organizing workers is a better response than criminalization. From worker co-ops to hotel housekeepers, the conversation connects labor movements across industries before turning to porn, patriarchy, bodily autonomy, and the cultural stigma surrounding women who own their sexuality. The episode closes with a call for bottom-up change rooted in solidarity rather than prohibition, and an invitation to imagine dignity on workers’ own terms.
